@tx2inboundinvalid: "I have an Acer 1310 laptop, with an Athlon XP-M cpu (2000+)
Right clicking "My Computer" and then properties, I get to the General 
tab where details of OS. Memory and CPU are displayed.
The thing is, the CPU speed sometimes shows a 633Mhz, 911Mhz and the 
correct speed of 1.66Ghz!!
Is this normal behaviour for this type of processor?"

    @rodgermacfarlane: "I've got a Thinkpad X22 with Speedstep and the IBM Website reckons that the
